Gary King is on page 60 of 224 of Rich Dad, Poor Dad: A must-read for young people. I wish I had read this book when I was in my 20s, though the thoughts and principles are valuable at any age. Many of the ideas presented here I learned through trial and error, so read the book while you're young and benefit from it. I'm reading the Kindle version, and at $5.65 the price is reasonable. I bought a copy each for me two daughters! Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki progress:	My rating:
